Alley (@ally.renee1) is passionate about all things natural, from beauty and health to DIY hacks.
She showed viewers in a TikTok video how to make a non-toxic and affordable concoction to keep your home smelling impeccable and cozy.
“People will compliment your home as soon as they walk in. It will touch them,” she said.
She even joked that they would wonder if it was the Bath and Body Works candles.
Step one is to grab a fruity citrus element and for this mix she chose an orange and a lemon.
The ingredients also include an apple, nutmeg, cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and the spice cardamom black.
Then she filled a large pot with water and brought it to a boil on the stove.
Next, Ally cut three slices each of her citrus fruits and apples.
“Some people like to use the peel. It smells so good,” she added.
Immediately afterwards she ‘plopped’ them into the jar with her cinnamon sticks, bay leaves and cardamom.
She joked that it would be a great thing to do when “your boo thing comes around.”
She topped it off with a few dashes of nutmeg as the final step.
“It’s going to smell like apple pie or peach cobbler in here,” she said with a smile on her face.
